Method of treating eye disorder with anti-vegf antibody conjugate
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11912784B2) discloses a method for treating eye disorders, specifically wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD), using an anti-VEGF antibody conjugate. The method involves administering three loading doses of the conjugate to a subject, with the heavy chain of the antibody conjugate containing specific amino acid sequences and a phosphorylcholine containing polymer covalently bonded to it. The therapeutic result of the treatment is expected to last for at least 12 weeks after the final loading dose, with subsequent doses administered based on the outcome of assessment tests for ocular health and function. The dosing schedule for subsequent doses is no more frequent than once a month, ensuring the effective treatment of the eye disorder.
Furthermore, the patent outlines various claims related to the method, including the duration of the therapeutic result lasting up to 20 weeks past the final loading dose, the administration of subsequent doses at specific time intervals, and the specific structure of the antibody conjugate. The method aims to modify the disease in a beneficial manner to the subject, with improved visual acuity, reduced retinal thickness, and other positive outcomes. The administration of the anti-VEGF antibody conjugate via intravitreal injection is highlighted, emphasizing the targeted delivery of the treatment for optimal results. Overall, the patent provides a detailed and structured approach to treating eye disorders, particularly wAMD, with a focus on long-lasting therapeutic effects and personalized dosing schedules based on individual assessment outcomes.
